 * RBG mechanism
 *
 * This mechanism is designed to comply with ANS X9.82 Part 4 (April
 * 2011 Draft) Section 10.  This standard is unfortunately not freely
 * available.
 *
 * The chosen RBG design is that of a DRBG with a live entropy source
 * with no conditioning function.  Only a single security strength is
 * supported.  No seedfile is used since there may be no non-volatile
 * storage available.  The system UUID is used as the personalisation
 * string.
